Not bad. Surely it is not on a par with Blatz. However I could definitely see myself getting loaded on this and driving my truck into a knotty white pine. Nice hoppy aroma and taste. Michigan is not just famous for the greatest NFL franchise apparently they make some pretty bitchin’ beers as well....long live Blatz!

355 ml bottle. Mackinac Summer Ale 5%. From Sweden. Amber colour with an white head. Pretty malty and little hop aroma. Flavour is pretty much the same. Quite light and refreshing for an APA. Doesn’t matter, I like it a lot.

12oz. bottle, pours hazy gold, aroma is light citrus and malt, not a significant hop presence, well balanced, light crisp refreshing, hop bitterness becomes evident on the finish, easy drinking pale, nicely done.

Golden ale with very smooth mouthfeel. Definitely an American ale.

This bottled brew for $1.49 from Indianapolis poured a medium sized head of foamy mostly lasting off-white colored bubbles that left behind a transparent yet slightly hazy carbonated brown colored with a soft orange hued body and a good lacing. The aroma was that of a medium caramel hop. The mouth feel was tingly from start to finish with a nice hoppy aftertaste. It had a good mediumly hopped caramel malt flavor.

Allllright. Tasty. As I’m trying learn to identify hop varieties, I can’t tell what this is, but it tates like Arcadia Lake Superior ESB.

Dark amber, draft version is 6%+abv. Great balance of rich malt and strong piney, flavorful hops. Medium body, nicely carbonated. A nice offering!
